The man winced at the intense light and groaned in agony. He looked dirty and disgusting, with bloodstains and wounds all over.
Fred clicked his tongue and waved his handkerchief. He mocked, “How could they do this to you? You’re a doctor, after all. They shouldn’t have been so harsh on you, right?”
The prisoner was the doctor who examined Lily. He had refused to leave with his family and returned as Alexander’s spy. Unfortunately, he got caught and confined in the underground chamber.
He looked horrible after enduring two days of torture.
Fred sat on a stool a guard had brought over. “So, what did they offer you to turn you against me?”
He crossed his legs and continued to hold the handkerchief over his nose. He felt better being able to sit down.
The doctor knew the organization would kill him either way. He neither looked at Fred nor replied.
“Talk!” Fred glanced at a guard, who then lashed the doctor. The crisp sounds of the whip striking his flesh were terrifying.
The doctor grunted but refused to groan out loud.
